 Abbey Lakes is one of the longest established venues for carp fishing holidays in France and over the years we have seen it change from a ‘runs’ water to a ‘big fish’ venue.
The venue which is just 2 hours from Calais has 5 lakes to choose from, an awesome clubhouse, shower block and restaurant, bait freezers, charging points for your electrical equipment and even food deliveries to your swim!
The complex was created by the Harlé d'Ophove family with a unique aim to be the first European angling centre for carp and catfish and is now visited by many anglers of different nationalities.
2000 saw the opening of two specimen carp lakes: Fox lake and Heron lake, as well at the opening of the Kingfisher lake which was stocked massively with huge cats and finally the opening of the Wildboar lake for the coarse and match angling.
In 2001 Attila lake was developed as a stocking lake and in 2002 a 6 ton stocking of small carp into the Wildboar lake was carried out whilst a complete draining of the Heron lake in order to clean the bottom and make it snag free took place.
The tackle shop and clubhouse opend in 2004 along with the restocking of the Fox, Heron and Attila lakes.
In 2006 we opened two more specimen carp lakes: Frog lake and Attila lake. We also launched a partnership with the famous MAINLINE BAITS.
2009 saw the restocking of Kingfisher Lake with carp from 26.4lbs to 52.8lbs and over! We also launced our limited edition “Winter VIP Cards” (from the 1st November 2009 till the 31st January 2010).
